To The Moon One Small Step in 1/72 scale End table diorama H~24" x 18" dia. Over 60 LEDs, control panel and remote for moon phases.

Levitation diorama. MagTable diorama in 1/144th scale.

Levitation of Manta Ray, divers, shark, raft and Grumman Goose
in a 7.5" X 7.5" X 9" format. Portable diorama with 8 LEDs. You ask
portable? Yes. To turn it on you float the magnet over table. Once
magnet is stable, you place diorama on mag-cylinder.This is fragile,
unprotected detail that can easily be destroyed by a child or by
some adults. That is the idea. Works like a clock, but can be broke
like one also. Pure repulsion balance makes it work.

About The Artist;

Bill Christensen

I have always
loved to fish. I Have fished most of my life and all over the world. My ART comes from a background in Television, Illustration and Design. My love of FISH, Fishing and Aviation are incorporated into my works.

My Illustrations are color pencil on black paper originals. I illustrate on black paper for the rich, true black it gives my compositions. Illustrating from a (negative) to a positive is
a style that I have become accustom to.

My Dioramas are a fun way to tell a story in three dimensions in a very small space. I have attempted
to make the diorama a ART form for the desk, bookshelf or wall. I use hand crafted materials to create and sculpture a story in miniature. Exotic woods, metals,papers and plastics are used to produce a "Post Card" setting that is unique and tells a small story
in detail.

The Flying Fish series was a combination of My interests. I finally combined my intrest in Fish
and Aviation into a Morphed creature of fantasy. I used Fiberglass Trophy Fish,scaled wings, cockpits, pilots and LEDs in the series.They are suspended sculptures
or wall sculptures that depict a TROPHY like no other.

The Flying Fish series was a fun combination of my love for fish and interest in aviation. A series of six creatures that depict a morphing of Fish and Plane. Some were designed as hanging sculpture and some as wall sculpture. The average Flying Fish is 30" long. Some works are with pilots and some with LEDs.

Dioramas

My dioramas are an attempt to create a story in 3~dimensinons in a very small space. All hand crafted, my dioramas are a slice of nature and fantasy. They are original works for the desk, bookshelf or wall.

illustrations

All illustrations are done with color pencil on black paper. There are some exceptions. All illustrations are originals. The general dimensions are 22"x30". There are some works that are framed and matted if indicated. I like black paper inorder to achieve a true black. This process is working the illustration from a negative to a positive.

3~dimensionals

My 3~Dimensional works vary. LED art works are electric paintings. Generally of animals. Hand drilled paper allows color LEDs to show through. Blinking,flashing LEDs add color and motion to each work. The Flying Fish series was a morphing of fish and plane. Whimsical sculpture to be suspended or for the wall. Dioramas as a Art form was my attempt to miniatureize a story for the wall, bookshelf or table top. Your Ideal fishing story in a hand crafted box.

A River Runs Through It

A River Runs Through It

This work is entering the final stages. Illustrated river bed is how it all began. Color pencil on paper. The illustration was split at mid~river. Hand crafted land masses were also split. This created a downward flow. Elevated land masses
were added on upper left & right of main board. Over 60 trees, shrubs and 200 grass tufts were installed. Hand painted land masses and river rocks were added. Mountain lions with cubs, bears & cubs, deer, elk, moose, raven, eagle
and chicks are hand painted. Float plane and boat were hand crafted. Fishing lines were crafted from Golden Retriever hairs.

The three land masses were elevated 2.5" off base. The three land masses then were back~ lighted by 300 programable
LEDs. Remote controll included. Custom acrylic 1/4" case was made with interrior mirrors to duplicate lighting and landscape. Water surface is made of accetate template that is "anchored" from shore to shore.
